Description

***FLUX:FX wins the highest Red Dot international design award - 'best of the best'***Designed in conjunction with acclaimed musician Adrian Belew, the award-winning FLUX:FX is a professional multi-effect processor app for the iPad that lets you ‘play’ your effects. Innovative, intuitive and exciting, FLUX:FX lets you manipulate your audio signal into something entirely new, and redefines the possibilities of studio sound design and live performance in an app with a massive range of effect options. Guitar, bass, synth, drums, vocals, DJ setup, violin… basically ANY audio signal can be processed in real-time by FLUX:FX.

TRULY CREATIVE EFFECTS: FLUX:FX has 31 studio-quality effects to choose from, and an almost unlimited range of settings to let you twist & sculpt your sound. Chain 5 together for maximum aural impact.

POWERFUL SEQUENCER: A touch-based automation sequencer for your effects that adds a completely new fluid dimension to your sound design.

DEEP EDITING HEAVEN: Every parameter of every effect is editable, assignable and with the fine tuner dial, precise. That makes FLUX:FX a tweaker’s paradise.

TRANSPARENT INTERFACE DESIGN: FLUX:FX has a beautiful, minimalist interface with easy-to-use controls that are MADE to be touched. And swiped, and dragged, and tapped. No fake road-worn pedal graphics or tiny dials here.

”FLUX:FX makes sounds that I have never heard before from any other piece of equipment. It can truly mangle any signal you put into it… in a good way! I can actually PLAY the effects. This app is just so creatively inspiring & fun to use.” - Adrian Belew: the world’s greatest experimental whammy twang bar, czar rhino, stunt guitarist extraordinaire. With a resume that includes Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, King Crimson, Talking Heads, Paul Simon and Tori Amos, Adrian is famous for pushing the boundaries of the guitar in both technical and tonal exploration.

"It's really awesome, and the SFX and way to automate things is splendid. I love the GUI too, very nicely laid out." - Richard Devine: producer, sound designer, film & game music composer.

Ratings and Reviews

Five star app masquerading as three

What a pity that this app hasn’t been updated for Audiobus. It even appears like it may have been abandoned.

As it is, it’s still a fierce fx processor for guitar coming in through external audio in. The quality of fx is terrific and the effects are very imaginative. I prefer it over amp emulation apps, because it’s easy enough to add overdrive and custom eq right in this app.

I might complain that the app tries to be a little “artsy cute” with the distracting purple blotch visualizer and controls that aren’t always easy to get to. They could have served users better by just getting to the controls, thank you.

Still, if the app hadn’t been blown up by OS changes, I would have given it five stars. Not the developer’s fault, but the app no longer works as intended.

Somewhat works, just needs update, but awesome

At first, I could not get this app to work at all, it just crashes in audiobus 3, and in standalone mode all input/outputs are greyed out and unselectable. I gave up for a week or so.... then tried to open in Cubasis 2, bam, works, mostly. You have to slap on a lowpass filter, and leave it always on, it was the only way I could make the input audio stop crackling, takes up one fx slot, but if you set the filter just right it doesn’t affect sound much, just eliminates the crackles and makes flux:fx completely usable and awesome. Please update! I’ll pay you lol, maybe an option to use other stuff in effect slots, like audiodamage effects and such. That would make this a 30 dollar 6 star app. Thanks either way, don’t let this one die.

#NOTAFAKEAPP

This app still has the cleanest and most reliable signal processing of any guitar effects app I have used. I love the clarity of the “splat” fuzz especially and how the dynamics work with a low pass filter. It seems to be the one I go back to every time. Even in GarageBand (when I used to use it) I would us fluxfx rather than the #fakeguitareffects and #fakeguitaramps which is the biggest thing I like about this app (besides the fact that Adrian Belew is involved and you can dial up some of his vernacular in the presets) is that it doesn’t try to be something it’s not - meaning there are no pedal or amp simulators -
